Title: Rename Process Image Name
Post by: mesengr on August 08, 2009, 08:40:27 am
In Windows XP, does anyone know how to change the image name of a running process?

e.g., I have "notepad.exe" running. I want to change the image name of the process to "notepad2.exe" while it is still running.

awesome Google skills Z!   :icon_biggrin2

Far as I could tell, all the links are saying it is not possible.

But I'm sure more experienced artists (e.g. MrMedic, Subsky) have some cool Ring-0 stuff figured out that makes this possible. Any comments from the developers of this community?

ring 1 -2 device
ring 3 apps ( least privolidged )

why ring 0 and what do you need to do it for ?
